sep11guy: Someone who has used - can you please provide feedback , how does it work , how long for uploads / restoration. whats the cust service like etc.

Would be helpfull

Thanks :)

You just install the program on your computer, you can set it to continuous backup, backup during certain hours or backup manually. Initial upload took ages (3 months) but I had a lot of data, now its fine syncing new changes even on a ADSL connection.

Lucky I have never had to restore or deal with their customer service so can't speak to that.

Looks interesting and some fairly big names with positive things to say in their "reviews" section, unfortunately the lack of a linux client is a deal breaker for me, since I backup from my home server which runs linux. Guess I'll be sticking with crashplan for now.

Backblaze do not currently offer an option to send a drive in to seed (or at least, they didn't when we last looked at these providers early last year - I note some online reviews more recently claim you can but I still can't find it on their own site). Crashplan do, though. Although Backblaze will ship out a drive with your data on it for restoral, and you get to keep the drive, which is pretty cool.

In their latest one they find that 3TB Seagate drives have had a 40% failure rate in the last 12 months. This seems entirely believable to me, because the two drives in my NAS are 3TB Seagate drives, and both of them failed within 15 months. Good thing they come with a 2 year warranty.
